History

  • Bill Jeffers (PapaVic) grew Golden Cherokee in 2009 and ended up with fruit that had a clear epidermis which he attributed to a mutation. He named it Cherokee Lemon per the color of the fruit.
  • Bill Jeffers sent seeds from Cherokee Lemon to Theodore Corbett of Reichenbach-Steegen, Germany (GERM CO T) to grow in 2010, and this growout yielded green fruit with a clear epidermis. Bill Jeffers also got some plants with green fruit and clear epidermis in his subsequent growouts, and named it Cherokee Lime.
  • Selection and refinement for taste continued, and by 2015 this variety got raving reviews from many tomato gardeners around the world.
